An Overview of Data-as-a-Service (DaaS)

Abre's Data-as-a-Service (DaaS) empowers schools and districts to make data-driven decisions while not having to wrestle with the data.

The Process

After we complete our standard onboarding process with customers, we begin the DaaS project. 

1. The school or district identifies the data sources they intend to use.
2. The school or district provides Abre with access to the data.
3. Abre organizes and stores the data.
4. Abre works hand in hand with School/District to build meaningful data visualizations that compare multiple data sources
5. Abre automates the synchronization of future data (when possible).

Every DaaS project has two Project Leaders:

• The customer's CS representative (runs point on the project).
• A product representative working on the data.

Guiding Questions for a DaaS Project

1. What question/questions are you trying to answer with a data report?
2. What data sources are needed to answer that question?
3. How often does the data need to be updated?
4. How is the data used together to help answer the question?
5. What if/and/or relationships are needed to answer the question?
6. What type of visualize can be used to best answer the question? (Table, Pie Chart, Bar Graph, etc).
